Rates

Editing is charged under SfEP Rates. Hourly rates for shorter pieces of writing, single stories, and small editing projects; full manuscripts and complex editing projects are charged at fixed prices.

Manuscript critiques can be provided on full manuscripts or targeted tricky areas of your writing; for example, on the progression of scenes over several chapters, ideas, plot development, characterisation and character growth, point of view.

Editing rates from £20 per hour [SfEP Rate Sheet].

Fixed prices for complex projects and full manuscripts over 50,000 words.
